Thank you both for your responses @steakhouse @kadmil.
If you don’t mind, we would like further clarifications on your answers.
-
We understand that there is a focus on initiatives such as CSM and dual governance. However, what we were curious about is why proposals for the period after April are not being included here.
- It seems reasonable that this EGG request includes expenses for CSM, dual governance, and other Lido on Ethereum-related costs.
- To reiterate, our question is why other aspects are not being proposed at this time.
- Just one assumption, but there may be an ongoing planning process internally, such as expanding new product lines based on the GOOSE-2 strategy. If that is the case, it would be greatly appreciated if those details could also be shared.
-
What we were hoping to request was not so much about GRAPPA itself, but rather whether a more detailed breakdown of the overall budget items could be shared. We understand that GRAPPA is not included in this EGG.
- Specifically, we are interested in information such as, for example, within the R&D section for “3. stETH as the most used token,” how much is planned for personnel costs related to actual development (e.g., 650k), audits (e.g., 700k), and tools (e.g., 50k).
- We recognize that there may be privacy concerns that prevent the disclosure of details at the level of exactly how much is paid to whom, and we agree that such granularity is unnecessary.
- To reiterate, appropriate transparency leads to healthy discussions and encourages participation from DAO participants. We are asking this question with the belief that it significantly contributes to improving the security and functionality of the DAO.

We are looking forward to the release of the actual report on this. As Kadmil has shared, Hasu’s proposal provides a good qualitative explanation of the progress made. What we are specifically interested in here is the financial aspect, particularly the actual budget utilization.
- As we mentioned previously, we have some concerns about the low budget utilization rate:
- While we are not suggesting that a 100% budget utilization rate is ideal, we believe that accurately forecasting future needs, designing budgets accordingly, and conducting proper retrospectives are essential for promoting healthy project management and sustainability.
- The idea for breaking down is described in the second section of this comment: “Specifically, we are interested in …”
